 Progressive Labor Party (USA) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was formed in the fall of 1961 by members of the Communist Party USA who felt that the Soviet Union had betrayed communism and become revisionist and state capitalist.
It was the subsidized fraternal party to China for a while, but broke that relationship in 1967 and reacted particularly harshly to the news of Mao meeting with Nixon in 1972, denouncing Mao as a revisionist.
In this view can be seen the party's virulent rejection of united front and popular front strategies long used by most communists as a route to revolution, both of which members say has failed despite all valiant attempts by forces genuinely fighting for communism.
